> In Esperanto my name(Czarcasm), which is a play on two words(czar and sarcasm), becomes “Sarkasmo”. Where is the wit and wordplay in “Sarkasmo”?

_ **Ŝarkasmo** _: If you have long teeth (Shark-asmo).  
_ **Sarkastmo** _: If you expect people to choke when they scrap under the surface of your contributions (sarki+astmo)  
_ **Sarkasmono** _ is possible in a forum handling economy.  
_ **Carkasmo** _ is good if feel chosen by God.

Making “pun” words in Esperanto is no fun… It’s too easy.  
I find _ **Sarkasmo** _ quite clear, and won’t change it unless somebody used it already.
